This is the entry for the Modiphius Fallout Design competition for Mishap Games. We entered it in the retailer best table category.

It is a fallout-ized version of a local landmark: the Mill Mountain Star. The Star has been around for decades and the overlook area is a popular destination. A village of ghouls has sprung up around the Star, worshiping it and the beleaguered Mr. Handy that maintains the lighting. The ghouls have even captured a technician to keep Mr. Handy running.

Information about the Star: https://www.visitroanokeva.com/things-to-do/attractions/roanoke-star/ You can see from the main photo that we cut the tree cover back significantly.

Rough differences with reality:

Went with the older red/white/blue scheme for the star lights. Felt more in tune with Fallout’s patriotic tendencies
Reduced the number of lights in the star, didn’t double up some of the colors.
Added rocks to the overlook as the vault entrance does’t look right without rocks.
Tweaked the road sizes to accommodate Corvegas
Removed some detail that would have hindered game play, like the front porch of the bathroom, the bollards at the trail edge, and minor elevation changes.
Buildings have generally been smooshed and resized similar to the process the Fallout videos games use
